Granted this is an old thread, but I just had to mention that Nintendo sold 2 million Wii's in November 2008... so thusly, I would say Nintendo is NOT dead.

I think you didn't get my point at all.
...is that a Gaia avatar?

It's Maplestory, not Gaia.

[Raijinili]

Gaia is stupid.

And Nintendo is indeed dead.

[Raijinili]

I refuse to believe that Gaia is stupider than Maple Story without lots of supporting evidence.

I am a Nintendo fanboy, but I must admit that they are indeed in trouble.


Nintendo's problems are numerous, but here are the most outstanding:

-Lack of good third party games. Yeah, RE4: Wii Edition was good, Soul Calibur Legends was okay. Really, there are a LOT of third party games. They just aren't good.

-Lack of third party games period - no SC4, for example. Or MGS4. The creator guy (forgot his name) was begging to get Snake in Brawl. They should have jumped when they heard that and proposed to make MGS4 for Wii.

-Games are directed towards younger audiences. For instance, Pokemon used to be cool. Now, when I see the new ones, I'm seeing some stupid, hokey pile of fail that Nintendo crapped out to make a quick buck. Even solid games like Animal Crossing (which, granted, was kinda kiddy anyways) or Kirby (which, by the way, has no titles on Wii) or even Mario or Sonic (Who was dying anyways)

-Lack of first party games. No Kirby or F-Zero.

-Hindering of classic, great series. Sonic and Zelda come to mind. Sonic, for the obvious reasons, and Zelda, because although Twilight Princess was amazing, the series could be SO much better. The overall series lacks seriousness and game fundamentals. They need to drop Toon Link games, and get better graphics (As good as TP was, there were still many polygons).

-Alternative gaming style. Not everyone likes motion controls. A lot of people like an actual controller rather than a remote. More games need to be compatible with a GCN controller so more people can join Nintendo's audience.


If Nintendo would just fix these obvious flaws, I'm sure everyone would hate them a little less.

This is one of the worst ideas I've heard in a long time.

This topic is stupid, because Nintendo is dying about as much as Sony is making money from the Playstations. Meaning they're not.

Give them time. Kirby/F-Zero games always come out in the middle of the console's lifespan.

True, but still.
I hope they don't half-ass the next Kirby game like they did with Air Ride. :/

I didn't mean dying financially, I meant that their spirit and what made their games good has died.

And fuck you Neon, Kirby Air Ride was awesome.

[Raijinili]

I think PPA's spirit and what makes him good is dead. This has to be true, because PPA was never good.

Air Ride was a great game, Squeak Squad was terrible.

[Raijinili]

Air Ride was terrible.
SASHA AGREES.
